Ingredients
8 ounces (2 cups) sweet cherries, stems intact
1.5 ounces dark chocolate, melted
Directions
- Prepare the Cherries: Rinse the cherries thoroughly and pat them dry with a paper towel. Ensure that they are completely dry before dipping to help the chocolate stick better.
- Melt the Dark Chocolate: In a heatproof bowl, melt the dark chocolate either by microwaving it in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, or by using a double boiler on the stove until smooth and fully melted.
- Dip the Cherries: Hold each cherry by the stem and dip it halfway into the melted dark chocolate. Let any excess chocolate drip off before placing the dipped cherries onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Chill the Cherries: Once all the cherries are dipped, place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes, or until the chocolate is fully set.
- Serve: Serve the Dark Chocolate-Dipped Cherries chilled as a delightful snack or dessert. Enjoy immediately or store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
